Thanks for correcting the link Art. I'm stumped as to what that particular gasket is for. At first I thought it was for the tailshaft housing but that isn't right. It was in my box labelled Volvo Gaskets but I can't place it on the engine nor transmission.

I have to let it go because the rust is starting to weaken structural components. Earlier this year the rear transmission crossmember rusted through and almost dropped the tranney. That was replaced but the channels that it bolts to are getting weak as well. The final straw was the rear trailing arms are so rusty they are getting close to failing. One has a crack where the spring attaches.

Interesting the trailing arm bushings are still original - outlasting the actual trailing arm. Included in the package is a TAB tool and Lemfoerder bushings.
